Yes foam blocks, make sure it's closed cell of course. Dow should be fine. Did you see the jig for the 15' Whaler on here months ago. Someone posted a link to it for sale for $2000. It had lots of pictures and was made of steel for the pressure of the foam expansion. If you can find it, it might help you visualize what to do. That is kind of what made me think of the cardboard form idea. When a copycat 'splashes' a hull shape they must have a method for recreating the lines of an existing hull and deck. I think the foam removal is not that tough but as you realize putting the same shape back in place will be the hard part.
